Szott was accompanied by his wife and several family members Thursday in Middletown, Pennsylvania, as he was presented a check for $86,755,350.

"Winning the jackpot has been a surreal experience,” Szott said, according to a news release from the lottery. “We hope that very little in our lives will change. We are really excited to be able to spend more time with our children and grandchildren.”

The winning ticket has an annuity value of $149 million or a cash value of $86.7 million, less 25 percent federal withholding. It was sold at White Oak Gas & Grocery at 1100 Fawcett Ave. The store will receive a $100,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

"We know most of our customers by name and what they buy," said clerk Alicea Jeffcoat. "What I was thinking was, 'Man, I didn't play yesterday.' That's what I said to him."

It's the Pennsylvania Lottery’s first jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket since joining the multi-state game in 2010. The odds of hitting the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 258,890,850, the lottery said.
